If at first you don’t succeed—try, try again. That’s what one fan did at Tuesday night’s Yankees-Red Sox game, but it didn’t work out well for him. In fact, the results were downright embarrassing. The male fan and a female friend had front-row seats for the action. He was presented with three opportunities to impress her, […]

Television reporters have a difficult job to do. Not only do they have to come up with compelling questions during live interviews, but they also have to deal with players, coaches and fans trying to sabotage the broadcast in the form of a snarky answer, dirty look or videobomb. One unlucky FOX Sports reporter had […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles was not intimidated by the Packers faithful at Lambeau Field on Monday night after scoring a touchdown in the second quarter of the game. Charles capped off the Chiefs’ only scoring drive of the first half with a nine-yard touchdown run, and what he did to celebrate didn’t […]

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Jr. tried to put the Ravens on his back and will them to their first victory of the season during Sunday’s game against the Bengals, but it wasn’t to be. Smith racked up 186 yards on 13 catches (two touchdowns) in the game and was a force to be […]

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and team owner Robert Kraft have achieved a lot of success and shared plenty of moments since the signal caller was drafted 15 years ago. The Patriots have won four Super Bowls during that time period, and a lot of emotion has been on display over the years. The […]

MMA fighter Darrion Caldwell was pretty excited after defeating Shawn Bunch at Bellator 143 on Friday night. Caldwell executed a rear naked choke in the first round and won via submission. But he may want to be a bit more careful how he celebrates next go-round. Caldwell scaled the cage and did a backflip after submitting Bunch. He […]

The hits just keep coming for the Washington Nationals. The team’s nightmare 2015 season has been marred by disappointment, as the team many analysts picked to win the National League pennant currently sits 7.5 games back out of first place in the NL East. And judging by how Friday night’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies has been […]

New York Giants running back Andre Williams probably won’t be boasting about his yards per carry in Thursday night’s game against the Redskins. Williams, who had only 12 carries combined during the season thus far, finally saw some action on Thursday but didn’t do much with the opportunity. Williams rushed 14 times for 29 yards […]

Even referees lose their cool and make judgement errors sometimes. That’s what happened back in January during a tournament game between St. Mary’s College and Sault High, when one of the craziest brawls of the year erupted. It started after a scrum broke out, when one ref attempted to break it up by pulling a SMC […]

Stephen Colbert challenged reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry to a shootout during Monday night’s edition of The Late Show, but it wasn’t the traditional shooting contest you’d have expected. Colbert knew he had to level the playing field a bit if he wanted to stand a chance at competing against Curry. The Warriors guard is one […]

New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall is one of the most physical receivers in the NFL. When he’s focused and determined to score, he can be very tough to stop. Two Indianapolis Colts defenders learned that lesson on Monday Night Football, when Marshall literally carried them into the end zone with him. The Colts […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back DeMarco Murray didn’t get off to the hot start that he was hoping for against his former team on Sunday. In fact, it was quite the opposite, as Murray currently has 10 carries for -9 yards midway through the fourth quarter against the Dallas Cowboys. Murray was visibly frustrated during the […]

New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. turned a normal 15-yard reception into a 67-yard touchdown during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. Eli Manning found Beckham in stride, and the Giants WR then turned on the afterburners and showed just how fast he really is. Three Falcons defensive backs were in the area, […]

The Detroit Lions attracted an unwanted guest as they lined up on the sideline before Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings at TCF Bank Stadium. While the national anthem was being played, a parachute jumper tried to land on the field to fire up the crowd. He did eventually land, but nearly crashed into Lions […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles is a dynamic player and one of the toughest players to bring down in the open field when he gets going, but he has had some issues with ball security in recent years. Heading into the 2015 season, Charles had fumbled 13 times during the three years that […]

Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams is a former first-round pick and has a bright future ahead of him playing basketball, but baseball may not be for him. Carter-Williams threw out the first pitch at Thursday’s Cardinals-Brewers game at Miller Park, and let’s just say he should probably stick to dishing out assists and scoring points […]

Bayern Munich squared off against Olympiacos F.C. in Wednesday’s Champions League match, and they won easily, 3-0. But what happened before the match was truly disheartening. Bayern Munich and Olympiacos fans were engaging in some pregame taunting and trolling, which happens all the time before matches. But things got a bit heated, and Greek police […]

The Deflategate saga is finally winding down, now that U.S. District Judge Richard Berman lifted Tom Brady’s four-game suspension, but that hasn’t stopped people from talking about it. The most recent reaction to Deflategate aired on Wednesday night’s episode of South Park, when the show mocked the dialogue between NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Tom Brady […]

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and as usual, her role was to beat up on one unlucky person. That person happened to be one of the show’s executive producers, Andy Lassner, who DeGeneres picked to face off against Rousey in a makeshift version of the Octagon. Rousey performed three moves […]

Former NFL wide receiver Randy Moss was one of the most dominant, physical wide receivers to ever play the position, and it seems like the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Moss’ son, Thaddeus, plays tight end for Mallard Creek High School. He stands at 6’3″, weighs 240 pounds and is a force to […]

One thing sports fans need to understand when attending games is that they’re there to witness the action, not participate in it. A fan at Monday night’s Rockies-Dodgers game apparently didn’t get that memo. When Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez attempted to track down a pop fly in foul territory during the fifth inning of […]

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson hadn’t played in a regular season game in just over one year heading into Monday night’s game against the 49ers, so it’s safe to say the 2012 MVP was excited to get back on the field. Most analysts and fans alike assumed the Vikings would look to get Peterson involved […]

Playing Dizzy Bat after chugging beers is a recipe for success—or failure, depending on how you look at it. One particular Bills fan did both of those things while tailgating before Sunday’s game against the Colts, and what happened afterward was pretty funny. The fan chugged a beer from a wiffle ball bat and then spun […]

Jameis Winston’s first career start in an NFL regular season game didn’t begin like he had hoped. After putting together a few solid performances during preseason play, expectations were high for the No. 1 overall pick in the draft heading into Sunday’s game against the Titans. But when he attempted his first NFL pass early in the game, […]
